If she hated him again?

Chapter 29

"I did not like it when they touched me." She said against his fast racing heart.

"Me neither. Don't worry. Now we've got to blow this up." He said, still not breaking the hug that he had engulfed her into."

"Soil. No. Time. Now. If you both. Push. No. Oooh. Stop. Teaching. Other words? Proffessing. Your love. Can we. Walk. No. Go. Ahead!" Shekhar said suddenly.

They both looked at him and realised that he and Ali have been playing dumbcharades, only change was that Ali was acting his sentences and Shekhar was translating his silly acting to a sentence.

Which was "Now if you both stop proffessing your love, can we go ahead?"

Ali wasn't speaking. They both burst into fits of laughter.

Ali had given them hope and life where none existed.

"Gather here." Mitali said. Kia came, carrying Mowgli who was bleeding from his knee. "Mowgli!" AvNeil exclaimed loudly going to him.

"I just fell down. Nothing else." He said while Avni shot Neil I told you look.

"You're going home right now. Flight's been booked. Your dadu is gonna accompany you." Avni ordered.

"Let this-" He started but stopped due to the slap he recieved from her. Her eyes were deadly angry.

"I told you right? Why don't you ever listen to me heh?" She yelled, shaking him violently.

"CAN'T I EVEN ACCOMPANY MY PARENTS?" He retorted at them.

Avni was about to give him another tight one but Neil held her hand firmly. "No hitting Avni." He ordered in a stern voice.

"Before I say anything that I regret later, tell him to go back right now." She spoke. She had to be harsh, for his well being. She couldn't afford to lose loved ones, for her revenge.

"Riya, can you take him? You rest as well, I mean you're not well because of that fall." Neil suggested.

Riya struggled to get Mowgli moving as he was struggling to go from her grip. His screams and pleads had no effect for Avni. She had to form a lining, preventing these emotional tortures from reaching her.

"We'll have to talk about this later" Neil said, firmly, anger visible in his eyes too.

Avni ignored him completely. "So I would be going inside, while you take guard. Make a hooting sound if someone strong is approaching to alarm me. Keep the area clean for us while I try to take a clear shot." She informed.

"I'm going inside too. For her and our baby." Neil said, although it did seem like an order.

"Go in then. It won't be long till someone comes." Akash spoke up.

Mitali lended Avni her gun while they all took the ones from the unconsious guards.

They both went in.

Avni was going in and in for finding a burning agent. Suddenly Neil pulled her backwards, covering her mouth with his hands.

He was precisely on time, someone was about to see them. Neil knelt a bit forward. So did Avni too.

"Hetal chachi.." Avni whispered and they hid behind some large boxes to be unnoticeable.

"I thought she always supported me." She whispered,.crying. "We can trust no one." Neil said. "I can't kill her." She said. "We've to. My sake Avni." Neil made her swear.

A water drop fell on Neil from above. He looked up to find a system of water pipes and knobs. Interestingly, his eyes also fell upon an iron rod.

"She's there with two guards." Neil hissed.

"Avni, to make it look as an accident, here have this stool. Stand above it carefully. Strike this pipe just near the knob. I'll lure Hetal near it so that when the knob loosens, it strikes her straightaway. She'll be dead. I'll attack the guards and. Water will start filling up the garage. We'll leak these kerosene tanks. I think I've a matchstick just in case. Remember we'll set fire. The inflamable substances will blow up. But we've got to run faster. Alright." Neil informed what they were going to do.

He helped her climb the stool. There was danger. She shouldn't have a miscarriage.

Neil went and showed up.
"Neil.." Hetal said. "I thought you supported us!" He said, bluffing them all. Hetal stopped the guards from attacking.

"The world revolves around those who have power and money. I had to live. No other option." She said.

Neil was throwing up all the gyaan of the moral science books he'd studied, roaming around, until Hetal was under the position and he coughed loudly giving a signal to Avni.

She began striking the pipe near the knob. They heard a clanging noise but ignored it.

Water drops were falling, making vision difficult. There was pain in her abdomen, she bit her lip and striked continuously. The knob finally fell loose, shooting straight on Hetal's head, putting a deep cut and blood stains washing over Neil's face.

The water fell with full force on Avni too and fell off the stool screaming loudly, clutching her stomach.

Neil who was shooting the goons ran towards her. Water had already rose a centimetre high.

He ran towards her, helping her to get up. "Are you okay Avni?" He asked, panicked. "Just blow it!" She managed to say and got up, with his help. They rushed to the kerosene tanks, making a hole, pouring it all out.

The water was waist deep high. They rushed to the door. But it had been jammed and locked. "Oh shit shit shit." Neil said, pushing it firmer but the water was rising.

"Neil do something!" Avni exclaimed. She was shorter, she had been covered till her chest, struggling to keep her toes reaching. The water was pulling them upwards as it rose.

They tried for more minutes in vain. They were floating now, struggling for air, above the water. Neil had held her close, picking her more up.

"I..c.. can't breathe." She stanmered, gasping to allow more intake of air.

In the distance somewhere else, another man was gasping but he wanted to finish them both as well.

He had a lighter with him. He was trying to burn it.

"No no." Neil said above the water.

They both pushed the door, and due to the force of the water
It opened, Neil came out first
Avni was pushed inside.

To Neil's horror the lighter was lit up, she was still inside, struggling to come out.
